61 00... Diagnosis for Condition Based Service

NOTE: Red symbol for pre-delivery check

The vehicle is coded at the end of line so that the red symbol for the pre-delivery check is shown in the Next Service indicator (same symbol as vehicle check).

The symbol is a reminder to the Service staff that the pre-delivery check has not yet been carried out on this vehicle.

NOTE: Do not carry out a reset.

Do not  confuse this function with the "Vehicle check" for maintenance work. Do not run a reset with the KOMBI.

When executing the pre-delivery check with the "Transport mode/Pre-delivery check" service function: The symbol will be suppressed automatically after the service function has been executed.

In the BMW diagnostic system 4 maintenance service functions are available:

Service Function: Transport Mode/Pre-delivery check 

In order to ensure that a vehicle can be handed over to the customer in proper condition, the "Transport mode/pre-delivery check" service function must be performed.

The following positions are checked during the pre-delivery check:

The weekly mileage/kilometrage is used to control escalation from "green" to "yellow" (approx. 4 weeks before "red") for maintenance scopes with remaining distances. The vehicle performance over the last 6 weeks which is taken into account.

Automatically: by date entry of the first registration and the interval

Manual: by directly entering the target date

NOTE: Reduction of input effort.

In order to minimize the input effort for the workshop, standardized data is saved on the BMW diagnostic system (for repeat use). The standardized data can be changed with the "CBS correction, tester data" service function.

Service Function: CBS correction, tester data 

With the "Pre-delivery check" service function, data will automatically be stored in the vehicle. The standardized data can be changed with the "CBS correction, tester data" service function.

The following standardized data can be modified:

The target date is calculated on the basis of the date of the first registration.

NOTE: Automation after installation of the BMW diagnostic system.

If pre-delivery check is being carried out for the first time, the standardized data will be defined automatically. It is therefore not necessary to enter the data separately.

Service Function: Reset CBS Condition Based Service 

The maintenance work can be reset with the "Reset CBS Condition Based Service" service function. Even when availability is above 80 % reset via the BMW diagnostic system has the advantage that the on-board date is corrected automatically.

The individual maintenance measures are displayed in the BMW diagnostic system with service counter and availability.

The service counters are used in the Service Acceptance Module (SAM) to control the additional work for specific maintenance operations.

The greater the availability, the further away the next service.

0% means that the maintenance measure must be carried out.

Service Function: CBS vehicle data correction 

IMPORTANT: The data have been exceeded.

After carrying out this service function, it will no longer be possible to restore the previous status.

The service function "CBS vehicle data correction" is available if resetting has been carried out unintentionally.  Thus the availability of a maintenance measure can be corrected to a value which corresponds more closely to the actual situation.

For this correction a date or km-reading is entered. This data is processed internally to give a percentage availability. Here, the BMW diagnostic system will only accept a value which is lower than the current status in the control unit. In addition, the service counter of the scope is automatically reduced by one counter during correction.

The entries in the Service Manual are used to determine the actual availability. The most recent maintenance measure (km-reading and date) allows the reconstruction of the availability for the specific scope that corresponds more closely to the actual situation. This does not include the correction of the brake pad availability. The remaining brake pad thickness must be measured and entered (in millimeters).

NOTE: Reference for distance- and time-dependent maintenance scopes On correction the availability depends on the distance-dependent and time-dependent calculation.
